Law

Doctors, lawyers, and CEO’s: for years, these were the primary career fields listed when asked what someone could do with a liberal arts degree. It’s true that those who do well in college often have these career paths in mind when finishing their degrees. In fact, students will often simply pick one of the three without doing much soul searching to determine whether or not it is the correct path for them. This has been particularly true in the field of law.

So many students find law school as an easy and respected choice that they never examine what it means to be a lawyer. Consequently, there are many unhappy lawyers out there in the workplace. I’m Dawn Dellea, the pre-law advisor, and I would strongly urge you to come chat with me about your interest in law and reasons for going to law school.

I have extensive information and resources to share with you, not only about applying to law school, but also when tapping alumni advisors for stories from within The Firm. There are hundreds of Williams alumni who are attorneys and have volunteered to be contacted by students. You will also find a wealth of information on our website. I am also happy to talk with you about how to find jobs and internships that are law related that do not require a law degree.
